| Message | Regions do not deserve equal representation. People do. You want the individual citizens in larger regions to have less of a say, which is unfair. |

| Message | Each province should have an equal say in the running of their national government. It we do not allow this the smaller provinces will struggle to be heard as their voice in the national parliament will be drowned out by the representatives from the larger provinces. This will lead to a feeling of disenfranchisement and may eventually lead to independence movements and intra-regional strife. This bill was recenly debated here http://80.237.164.51/particracy/main/viewbill.php?billid=39014 where it attained a larger majority but not the 2/3 it requires. As two parties missed the vote and as we view this with some importance we have resubmitted it as with the elections approaching we hope those nation who abstained last time will take this opportunity to register an opinion. |
